Answer: Linear
The equation is y = 2x-5
Slope = 2
y intercept = -5
====================================================
Explanation:
Each time x goes up by 1, y increases by 2. This directly leads to a linear equation due to the same rate of change no matter where you are in the table.
The slope is rise/run = 2/1 = 2 because "y increases by 2 each time x increases by 1".
We could use the slope formula to see this. Pick on any two rows to plug in the coordinates. I'll use the last two rows
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (3-1)/(4-3)
m = 2/1
m = 2
This confirms the slope is 2.
The positive slope means that the line goes uphill as you move from left to right.
---------------
The y intercept is b = -5 because the y intercept always happens when x = 0. This applies to any function, whether it's linear or not.
Together with m = 2 as the slope and b = -5 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = 2x-5 as our linear equation
As a way to check, plug in something like x = 1 to find that...
y = 2x-5
y = 2*1-5
y = 2-5
y = -3
The table shows that x = 1 and y = -3 pair up together in the same row, so that confirms x = 1. I'll let you verify the other x values.
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+6y
substitute x=16 and y=-9:
5*16+6*(-9)
=80-54
=26
You'll have to multiply 0.7 by 120.
120*0.7 = n
n is the number that is 70% of 120
120 * 0.7 = 84
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
700
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Daily evening newspapers in 2015 = 389
Percentage decrease from 2000 to 2015 = 46.5%
To find:
Number of newspapers in 2000 = ?
Solution:
Let the number of newspapers in 2000 = 
When 46.5% of the total newspapers in 2000 () is subtracted from the total newspapers in 2000 (), it will be equal to the number of newspapers in 2015.
Making the equation as per the given statement:
Therefore, the answer is:
There were <em>727 </em>newspapers in 2000.
